We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to “Dhaman” family: Mr. Rashed Ahmed Al-Haroun, Director-General of the Arab Investment and Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (Dhaman).

Mr. Rashed Ahmed Al-Haroun is the fifth Director-General of the Arab Investment and Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (Dhaman) since it was established in 1974. Al-Haroun took over as Dhaman's Director General on June 1st, 2024, based on the decision of Dhaman’s Shareholders' Council at its 51st meeting in the Arab Republic of Egypt, after having been nominated by the State of Kuwait and supported by the Member States of the Council, which consists of 21 Arab countries and four Arab financial institutions. 

With an illustrious background in finance, investment, and economics, Mr. Al Haroun aligns seamlessly with Dhaman’s mission to foster social and economic growth and prosperity within the Arab world. Our new Director General will lead strategic initiatives, optimize operational efficiency, and drive our commitment to excellence. 

His leadership and experience as a member and chairman of the Board of Directors of several well-reputed GCC companies and as an advisor to His Excellency the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Commerce and Industry of Kuwait will undoubtedly elevate our capabilities and reinforce our position as a cornerstone of investment and international trade insurance in the Arab world. 

Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Mr. Al Haroun as we embark on this exciting journey toward a brighter, more prosperous future for the Arab countries.
